Dick van Heerde was inspired to paint Serengeti Lionesses during a visit to Tanzania in March 2000. In particular, the painting depicts an area of the Serengeti National Park near to the Naabi Hills. The Serengeti is probably the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world. Extending from the Kenyan border almost to Lake Victoria, TanzaniaÕs Serengeti National Park covers almost 15000 square kilometers and provides a protected environment for over three million large mammals. This painting of Dick van Heere depicts a team of lionesses at the start of a hunt. Lioness undertake most of the hunting and secure around 80% of the food eaten by the pride.
Each print is hand signed by the artist and hand numbered.
